Water Features for Greater New Orleans

Nova Pools & Spas, LLC serves homeowners in New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, River Ridge, Harahan, Mandeville, Covington, Slidell and nearby communities.

Fire & Water Features

From elegant water scuppers and sheer descents to dramatic fire-and-water bowls, custom features can create a distinctive focal point while enhancing the atmosphere around the pool.

Integrated Pool Design

Water features can be coordinated with the pool shape, raised walls, spa, coping and surrounding finishes so the completed design feels intentional and cohesive.

New Construction & Renovations

Water features can be incorporated into a new pool design or added during a renovation when the existing pool and plumbing conditions allow.

Planning Pool Water & Fire Features

Selecting Features & Their Placement

Discuss water scuppers, sheer descents or fire-and-water bowls in relation to the appearance and atmosphere you want around the pool. Consider views from the house, seating areas and pool, along with the pool shape, spa and surrounding finishes. Review how feature placement relates to pool decking and the areas you use for relaxing or entertaining.

Plumbing, Equipment & Control Coordination

Include the selected feature's plumbing and control needs in the project discussion. For an existing pool, review the current plumbing and equipment before defining the work. If you want coordinated operation, discuss pool automation and confirm which functions the proposed system and compatible equipment can support.

Illumination & Fire Features

The documented Westwego project combines custom fire bowls with an LED sheer descent waterfall. Use that example to discuss how illuminated water and fire features might fit your backyard design. Clarify the selected features and their operating arrangements in the scope; the Westwego installation is not a specification for every property.

New Construction or an Existing-Pool Renovation

During new pool construction, include desired features in the design and equipment planning. For a pool renovation, discuss whether existing pool and plumbing conditions allow the proposed addition, and what related work would be included.

Questions Before Selecting a Feature

Which feature types fit the pool design and the atmosphere you want?
Where should the feature be viewed from, and how does it relate to seating and deck areas?
What existing plumbing and equipment need to be evaluated?
What lighting or control functions are proposed and supported?
What related work and operating guidance are included in the scope?
